In 2013, compared to other RHP:
Their sinker is basically never swung at and missed compared to other pitchers' sinkers, has surprisingly little armside run, results in more flyballs compared to other pitchers' sinkers and has slightly below average velo. Their cutter has heavy sink, has extreme cut action, is an extreme flyball pitch compared to other pitchers' cutters and has slightly below average velo. Their curve has an exceptional bite, comes in below hitting speed, is basically never swung at and missed compared to other pitchers' curves, has sweeping glove-side movement and results in more flyballs compared to other pitchers' curves. Their change (take this with a grain of salt because they've only thrown 10 of them in 2013) is basically never swung at and missed compared to other pitchers' changeups and results in more flyballs compared to other pitchers' changeups. Their fourseam fastball (take this with a grain of salt because they've only thrown 5 of them in 2013) is basically never swung at and missed compared to other pitchers' fourseamers, is an extreme flyball pitch compared to other pitchers' fourseamers, has less armside movement than typical and has slightly below average velo.
